That's why I said to do it as a table function that if not found assumes the missile is the same as a standard FS2 missile (i.e invulnerable) or bomb (i.e destroyed with one shot).

I'll give it a try sometimes, I only have to 'acquire' some mood to edit all warheads and give them the 'bomb' flag.

I am currently lazy to enter the TBL.

Wouldn't that make it attack friendly warheads too? Or would that be the point? No more friendly kills by the rogue alpha 1?

only if there aren't enemy bombs, it's like making a list af all the warehead present giving them different priorities, friendly wareheads are at the bottom of the list, until they are locked on you or on a mission objective

Tried it, not much changed, despite I haven't tested in escort or bombing missions which would be critical in making my decision.
Otherwise, I targeted the Rockeye, and realized how ugly it is looking.
